Hey, Folks!

It is currently Wednesday afternoon and I am writing you this fascinating missive from the comfort of the dining room table in my country estate. This Thanksgiving holiday is promising to be a rather frantic one and I am trying tog et as much done today as possible so that I have a minimum of things to get done tomorrow. As many of you know, I have been living as a vegetarian for the last year and I have decided to treat myself to some turkey tomorrow and I would prefer to have nothing to distract me from my enjoyment besides my husband and a board game or three.

I have so much end of the month stuff to catch up on that I will also be in the store all weekend. Of course we will see how long it takes me to do the stuff that I’ve set aside for Saturday as well as how busy we are what with some stupid football game going on. It will be interesting to work all week with Brian with me at the store. Hopefully I will have a chance to get through some more of the damn Jersey collection as well all the paperwork.

Of course, I do have to mention the Monarch Comics Annual Black Friday Sale that Brian and I are running on Friday. I haven’t said anything to anyone, but depending on what are business is like on Friday I might extend the sale in to Saturday. We will see how it goes…

In any case, here’s the sale details:

 

25% OFF HARD COVERS/TRADE PAPERBACKS (including already marked down items!)

50% OFF BACK ISSUE BOXES

20% OFF SHOWCASE COMICS

$3 OFF POP FIGURES & PUZZLES

$10 FOR ALL ART SHORT COMIC BOOK BOXES

This is, of course, the same sale that will be running for January and February, but I find it is always nice to have a little preview of the sale. Also, please remember that Monarch Comics has finally entered the late 20th century and we now have gift cards to offer as opposed to the cheap and tacky paper gift certificates we have used for decades.

That’s it for me as I now have to get to work making my annual pumpkin cheesecake with the chocolate ganache topping. It takes a few hours so I should probably get to work on it. I hope that everyone of our customers have a safe and fun-filled Thanksgiving celebration!

See ya on Friday!
